The question is rendered moot when the president peers down under the table to scold Barney, the family’s Scottish terrier, for farting.

2) The best teamwork is a healthy rivalry.
3) The database is the software base.
4) Don’t just fix the mistakes — fix whatever permitted the mistake in the first place.
Solution: Add the number row to the top of the alpha keyboard.
The additional screen estate needed for this won’t impede the use of the completion field because most searches would be unique enough to find the winner within a few keystrokes.
